#THIS IS NOT DREAM. PLEASE. THEY'RE BOTH GREEN BUT THATS WHERE THE SIMILARITIES STOP

[matteosilly]

I've earned myself a reputation // That my bark is much worse than my bite // But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands // With all of my tiny might There are no stones at my disposal // There's no God to award me a crown // But I am always swinging at // Somebody I can't knock down All of the fire I've swallowed // All of the sparks that went dark in my gut // I am always burning up Dress me in red and throw your roses // And I'll wrangle the beast with words // It's a graceless dance of epithets // We learn to make somewhat hurt They will consume your sweet resistance // And they'll carry your heart in their teeth // But I am always feeding them // The ugliest parts of me All of the words I've swallowed // All of the sharp things // I've kept in my mouth // I am always bleeding out
